I got this 48 hours ago and it already looks beat-up just by opening and closing it. The straps don't fit right - the headphone jack, power button, and one speaker hole are perfectly covered by straps. Seriously, did these guys have an iPad to test their design on? This looks and feels like knock-off case you would buy for a knock-off iPad.

This item looks like it is sold under a number of brands and the price as sold is well worth it. Soft leather, good fit, comfortable in your hand. My only concern is the longevity of the elastic straps at the corners that hold the iPad into the folio.Only time will tell.

ONE YEAR LATERStill going strong and fits the New 3rd Generation iPad as well as it fit the 2nd Gen it was designed for.

I bought this case even before I received my Ipad. It seems to be well-made and quite professional looking. I have no regrets about buying it and will buy it again should something hapen to my current case.

My complaints, all of which have been mentioned by others, are very minor and would not come into consideration when looking at another case:

1. The elastic straps at the top cover the power button, but there is no effect on functionality. I don't even notice it.

2. On the top, the microphone is covered, but I never use it. In fact, I had forgotten it was there until I looked this morning while writing this review.

3. One of the three speaker openings at the bottom is covered so that may be an issue to some, but I tend to use headphones or connect it to a speaker system anyway so i haven't noticed the difference. Volume even with two speakers oncovered is still much better than my iPhones.

4. The rotation lock is covered by one of the eslastic straps. That is my only issue as sometimes it takes maybe an extra 1-2 seconds to use a fingernail to move the lock switch. (That is really nothing.) The switch is located at the endge of the strap to I think if I did it on a regular basis -- I rarely use it now -- it would become second-nature to position my fingernail in the right spot and moving the switch would also no longer be an issue.

5. Probably the only thing that I don't like is the little closing strap that secures the two sides when the case is closed. It tends to stay folded up but no blocking the screen It is very flexible and it's quite easy to hold back of fold under/behind if necessary. It's just a property of leather and is something that I deal with.Read more ›

Product is what I expected, except the business card slots are way too small and tight. Other than that it works fine. The screen protector is of no value since it is totally impossible to apply without creating bubbles all over the surface. Tried a number of times to apply the screen and then threw it away.

I'm not a picky guy. I tend to prefer simple-looking yet functional accessories, and the iPad Leather Case Folio is exactly that. Folded, it looks like a leather business planner. Unfolded, the iPad fits snuggly into 4 straps, none of which covers the beautiful screen. There's also slots for business cards, which is really just icing on the cake.

What really stands out about this case though is the fact that it works nicely as a stand. I love to use my iPad to stream video (ABC, Netflix, MLB, you name it), but sometimes I don't feel like holding it for an extended period of time. Rather than propping it up against something precariously, it's nice to be able to have a stand do the work for me. Besides the Apple case itself, I haven't tested a stand that does this as well.

There seem to be a couple minor complaints, and they are valid. The straps slightly cover the power button, volume button, and speaker. All of these are covered by elastic rather than leather though, so they're still accessible and the sound is fine. Of course, elastic does expand over time, so there are some concerns.

Overall, I'm very happy with the case. The price is great for a good case, decent silicon pad, and very good screen protector. I'd recommend this option to anyone as long as they're in good supply.

The case itself seems to be of good-average quality. The design of the case has the following flaws: 1) the bottom left strap partially covers the speaker; 2) the upper right strap covers the rotation lock switch and top screen button; 3) and the left strap partially covers the headphone jack. However, other than the rotation lock switch, none of the straps impede the ability to use the covered areas. The low price was the biggest draw as comparable products seem to have the same strap impediments and cost much more. Though I'm pleased with the case, I'll be on the look out for a perfect folio case as a replacement.
